Night time alert

Hi, my 11 month old SBT is not very alert at night. When he sleeps, the fella snores louder than fat albert and doesn't wake up to surrounding noise. The reason I noticed is because we have a chihuahua at home and she's very very conscious of what's going on 24/7. Please share advice if your staffy has this same problem

I can't say that Zeus has.. he wakes up at every little sound, it can be a pain sometimes when we've just managed to get him to sleep and he wakes up because someone closes a door too hard.. sorry!

There all different, Moo sleeps like a dead weight, she'll be aware to certain things but paticually interested! Oh and I think most snore like old men

I would consider yourself lucky to be honest. Suki is up at the hint of a noise. She doesn't get overly excited but she will stick her head up.

Diesel is always super alert at night, slightest noise abd she's up ! Tank however couldn't give a rats backside, he's much more chilled out.

I dont see either as a prob or issue, staffys are great big lumps or snoring farting love, not the best watchdog in the world lol !

Tilly is exactly the same , if we had a burglar , by the time you have poked and prodded her and she's finished stretching he'd be long gone

Tyson is fairly alert. He does react to strange noises and I have no doubt he will react to sounds of an intruder but he can make me crazy reacting to errand cats in the neighbourhood. For the most part he sleeps soundly.

patch is 11 weeks old and is awake at very little sound so is a pain when we jsut get him to sleep

Hahaha!! That's Ralph all over!

Louie sleeps soundly in the day , nothing wakes him apart from the smell of his food lol but at night the slightest sound he starts barking .

My Jack does the same he will sleep through anything, but my Juno is the opposite she will spring up as soon as she hears something, just different sleeping patterns I think

Buster sleeps like a log - a snoring log! He doesn't wake up to noises, although he does wake up if I have to get up in the night, but he very rarely gets off his bed unless he hears me going downstairs. LuLu hears everything - she woke us up one night barking when someone was trying to break into our house! (we didn't have Buster at the time) But she does sometimes bark at slight sounds which can be annoying, she does seem to be getting better since having Buster though. Buster did scare us to death one night as he started doing his big proper scarey bark which I have heard only then and when we encountered the shopping trolley in the field. I don't know what he was barking at, but I have never woken up so quick!! He barked about 3 times, then lay back down and went back to sleep

Aww LuLu's amazing

Too young to tell with Saffy but one of my others was like this. And actually one of my cats growl if they hear movement around the house at night....weirdo

im sure if anyone was going to break in your dogs would be both super alert!!

Lola only wakes at night for noises she doesnt know, with a properly low gutteral growl. which usually gets a "shut up... lie down... go to sleep..."

same here!

If only. Loki wakes up whenever he hears the kitchen door open, cos it means someone is downstairs and he loves greeting people. Not to mention, whenever he wakes up, he'll either decide he wants a drink or the toilet.

Lola is so cute! And Loki And Moo AND EVERYONE :D:D:D:D
